Summary[edit]
| Description | Leaping Lena upon arrival in New York City. |
|---|---|
| Author or copyright owner |
not stated, either NYT or RFE likely |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Original publication: New York Times Immediate source: New York Times (ProQuest) |
| Date of publication | August 2, 1954 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Leaping Lena |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image illustrates a unique, historical bird that achieved a moment of fame in 1954. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The bird has not been heard from in almost 60 years. (A few other photos exist on-line, but their provenance is unstated.) |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image is not intended for any other article, it is of low quality taken directly from a newspaper scan, and it is cropped to one fourth of the original image. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The subject of the image has not had much, if any, commercial value beyond its original fifteen minutes of fame. Were the NYT to reprint the image for any reason, it would presumably rely on an original print. See, for example, the bird's "official website". |
